The good wife

Blair Gomes, wife of just-called-up RHP Brandon, deserved to relax after her travels to get to Tampa. Having driven 3½ hours from Durham to Norfolk with Cole Figueroa's wife Thursday for the Bulls' opening series, Blair had to rent a car Friday to drive back to Durham, pack as much of their belongings that fit into their car (which the Rays pay to have sent down) and drop the rest off at the Bulls clubhouse to be shipped, then get a room and an early Saturday flight to Tampa. "It was crazy," Brandon said. "She was awesome."
